To show your understanding of the unit goals, write a paragraph about your favorite free-time activity. For example, where do you engage in this activity? When? How? Why do you like it so much? Why do you prefer it over other activities? How is the activity similar or different from your best friend’s favorite pastime? Check that you have capitalized and punctuated sentences correctly. Also, be sure to place the phrases and clauses appropriately and avoid shifts in pronoun number and person. Students MUST include one simple sentence, one compound sentence, one complex sentence, and one compound-complex sentence. No more, no less, just one, and one only.

One of my favorite free-time activities is hiking. I often engage in this activity in the beautiful mountains near my home. I usually go on hikes on weekends, early in the morning to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. I like hiking so much because it gives me a sense of freedom and allows me to connect with nature. I prefer it over other activities because it provides both physical exercise and mental relaxation. My best friend, on the other hand, enjoys going to the beach as her favorite pastime, which is quite different from hiking in the mountains.
